Two Major Types of Professional Malpractice
Today we want to cover both business and legal malpractice and the issues that lead to lawsuits. These are separate from the more commonly thought of Medical Malpractice.
When legal malpractice gets ugly
You may not know it, but each state has Rules of Professional Conduct that all attorneys must abide by. These are put in place to ensure that an attorney who takes a case always works professionally.
If legal professional acts in a manner that is intended to cause harm or is negligent in their duties, then that are liable for legal malpractice claims.
You have probably heard of an Attorney-Client Relationship which is entered when the two parties enter into agreements about services that will be rendered. From the moment forward, your attorney is required to perform competently on your behalf. Where problems arise is when the following issues arise:
- An attorney does not inform a client about information pertinent to the case.
- A client’s finances are misused by an attorney.
- A client’s consent is not gained before making agreements.
- There are errors in legal documents that should never have been made.
- The attorney handling the case has a conflict of interest.
- Deadlines, such as the statute of limitations for a case, are not met.
Business Malpractice
When you enter into a business agreement, you have the right to expect that certain standards will be met. Consider the following groups that you may work with:
- Accountants
- Insurance agents
- Architects
- Engineers
- Construction companies
All of these people have professional Standards of Conduct set forth by their industry. Once a contract is signed for services, you should be able to expect them to perform their job at a high standard until the agreed-upon work is complete. If a business willfully misleads their clients for their own gain, they should be held accountable.
